Free Web NovelChapter 126: Chapter 57: Card-Making Duel
[Miecha~!]
A Kung fu woman wearing a white qipao gracefully leaped out of the card face.
"Wow! Qipao!"
"The key is she’s a horned girl!"
"And she has beast ears!"
"Stylish and cute! A horned girl + beast ears is a double fortune girl!"
Among the audience, several enthusiasts cried out in surprise on the spot.
Although Jade Hand Master wasn’t as excited as them, his face had more expressions than the entire previous game combined.
It had to be admitted that he was also a senior enthusiast in this area.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had that card-making competition with the Show Director that involved wearing clothes.
Presenting the card as a bet in this situation was actually quite clear in its meaning.
As a Formula Master himself, Jade Hand Master understood this very well.
The other party’s bet was the formula for this card.
The formula for the Double Fortune Girl was enough to move any enthusiast’s heart.
"How about it, is that okay?"
Seeing the other party’s changing expressions but not getting an answer, Ree Shil asked again.
Actually, he hadn’t planned on selling the formula for this [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit], just like the other formulas.
Because of a strange possessive desire, he didn’t want to see anything like [Gun Sheep Rabbit], [Boxing Sheep Rabbit], or [Judo Sheep Rabbit] appearing in the future.
Anyway, he doesn’t lack money, so selling some Level 1 and a few Level 2 formulas would be OK.
At least he doesn’t lack money now; if he does later, that’s a different story.
So, this top-quality Level 2 formula, "Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit" is not for sale.
As for why he dared to use it as a bet, of course, it’s because he couldn’t lose.
What a joke, he has a cheat after all.
If he loses with this, he might as well delete his account and stop playing.
"It’s okay, of course."
"Since that’s the case, I’ll bet a high-quality C-Class Material card. What do you think?"
At this time, Jade Hand Master finally gave his answer.
"No problem."
Ree Shil wouldn’t refuse something he could gain without losing anything.
However, at this time, the surrounding audience expressed some similar opinions.
"Hahaha, Jade Hand Master, you’re being unfair."
"That’s right, even if your bet is a C-grade Material Card, it’s meaningless if the other party can’t win against you."
"Isn’t that like bullying the young man? Hahaha."
They mostly joked about it since no one believed that Jade Hand Master would lose and just treated it as a fun game to watch.
"Alright, everyone makes sense."
Unexpectedly, Jade Hand Master really accepted these suggestions and said to Ree Shil: "Maybe you’re just impulsive. It’s not too late to regret it now."
"..."
Ree Shil hesitated for a moment before showing a determined and heavy expression: "Sir, I don’t regret it. I still want to give it a try."
After all, he already has the bait, an extra hook doesn’t hurt.
"Well then, I can’t deny you an opportunity. Let’s make it a five games, three victories to determine the outcome."
Jade Hand Master nodded.
"Huh?"
This time, Ree Shil’s surprise was genuine.
Five games, three victories, were troublesome. A one-shot deal would have been much simpler.
"In that case, alright."
However, he still agreed. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
So, at the indication of Jade Hand Master, the staff brought over a machine.
If the audience frequently watched card-making games, they would not be unfamiliar with this machine.
This thing, a large square iron box with wheels, was the card dispenser.
After the staff input the parameters, the card dispenser reported an electronic sound.
[E-Class Material, 100 cards]
[Two-player game]
The card dispenser extended two retractable conveyor belts, delivering two identical sets of 100 E-Class different material cards to the two players.
Swish swish swish swish swish...! frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
The friction sound between the cards during distribution was very pleasant to the ear.
Jade Hand Master stood with his hands behind his back, listening to this sound he enjoyed with his eyes closed.
With the card distribution completed, the 100 material cards were neatly stacked.
However, he didn’t open his eyes, still standing there.
Leaving time for the opponent to make the first move and only making a move himself later was his usual style at the table.
After all, if he completed it too early, it would put too much pressure on the opponent and affect their performance.
The audience in the previous game were all old faces, so they joked about it.
But out of respect for the card game, especially for a game with a bet on it, the audience generally would not make a sound at this time.
The reason was to maintain silence and avoid disturbing the players’ thoughts.
At this moment, the audience was doing just that.
However, their silence wasn’t entirely out of the respect mentioned above.
It was because... they didn’t know what to say.
Not only was Jade Hand Master immovable, but even Ree Shil didn’t make a move!
After reaching out and grabbing the deck of cards, he didn’t make any movements!
The audience was all dumbfounded.
Jade Hand Master didn’t move out of magnanimity, letting you take the first move.
What’s the meaning of you not moving too, guy!?
Are they competing to be wooden statues?!
As time passed by minute by minute, Jade Hand Master felt that today’s game seemed to be particularly quiet.
It was odd that not only the audience didn’t speak, but even the guy at the opposite side of the table remained silent too.
He wanted to sneak a peek by opening his eyes, but he was afraid of being noticed and breaking the image he had created for himself.
No one noticed his fan tapping on his palm, the rhythm speeding up slightly.
He was just a little curious and wanted to take a look.
But in the end, Jade Hand Master still held back.
It wasn’t until he estimated that it should be about time for him to make a move that he slowly opened his eyes.
"Huh?"
As a result, the moment he opened his eyes, he was dumbfounded.
